Parkway closed due to weather

Blue Ridge Parkway officials announced the temporary closing of most sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway on Tuesday due to heavy snowfall along the entire length of the parkway.

Travel is not advisable on the recreational road.

Although parkway staff is working to open sections of the road with available equipment, many sections have enough snowfall to cause delays in reopening.

The temporary closure is necessary for the safety of visitors and parkway staff and is in effect “during the current period of inclement weather,” the parkway said.
